Ledger Questions:

Can I edit the ledger?

No. The ledgers are the financial reports of record. They cannot be edited within this application.

(1) The From_____________To____________dates are the dates the reports were sent to the eLedgers application.

For example, if you specified From 11/01/2009 To 12/31/2009, you would see the October and November 2009 reports since the October reports are processed in November and the November reports are processed in December. You would not see the December reports since they were not loaded into eLedgers until January.

(2) The Monthend date is the last day of the month for a report. For example, specify 11/30/2009 for a November 2009 report. Specify 12/31/2009 for a December 2009 report.
